It's still a jungle clearing on Route 2.
A few people were in no hurry to get on the road, so Xiaozhi had already released his Pokémon for daily training, while the other two people were watching idly while drinking tea.
"Ivysaur, use the flying blade!"
"Grass!"
The back is still covered with lush flowers of Ivysaur. When the body shakes, countless green leaves condense out of thin air around the petals. They spin at high speed and turn into sharp blades, shooting out towards the front.
"Pikachu, block it with your steel tail!"
The target of Flying Leaf Knife is Pikachu.
Xiaozhi fought with his left and right hands.
After hearing Xiaozhi's instructions, Pikachu nodded, pressed forward with its forelimbs, and rolled its body forward with its center of gravity. The stepped tail behind it was already covered with a layer of metallic cold light.
"Snapped!"
With great force, he directly chopped down all the menacing flying leaf blades.
"Ivysaur, now!"
Xiaozhi suddenly raised his hand and pointed, and said.
This was not a skill command, but Ivysaur understood what the latter meant, and a burst of emerald green light shone strangely in the pupils of its thick eyes.
And the scattered green leaves actually started to rise automatically when there was no wind, spreading evenly on the surrounding field, covering them with a layer of green.
Fake grass venue!
In fact, Ivysaur itself has already mastered the skill of grass field, but this trick requires a certain amount of time to sing forward. If you encounter a master, others will not give you time to open the grass field.
"If I can use the flying leaf blade, falling flowers and other special skills, wouldn't it mean that I can instantly open the grassland?"
This is the AIDI that suddenly appeared in Xiaozhi's mind one day.
Use the flying blade to attack the enemy and gain blood.
If that doesn't work, let the scattered leaves grow out of the grass field.
Of course, it is still in the experimental stage, and the concentration of scattered leaves is too low, which is a long way from being a grassy field.
"In that case, Ivysaur, use the grass slide!"
"Grass!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ivysaur's limbs stepped on the grass and jumped out like wearing rusty skates, and its body was covered with a layer of dazzling green light.
Although it cannot reach the realm of preemptive tricks, the speed provided by this pseudo-grass field is not too slow.
Then Xiaozhi fought with his left and right hands and continued to speak:
"Pikachu, let's use the Four Thunder Trigrams to block it!"
"Pickup!"
On the other side, Pikachu nodded, leaping high from the spot and spinning horizontally in mid-air like a top.
"Zizzi..."
During the rotation, a burst of yellow electric arc lit up the tail area, and the force continued to increase. Finally, the tail carrying the power of the electric arc whipped away, faintly revealing an aura that made people dare not be careless.
The Four Thunder Trigrams are the great secrets that Xiaozhi obtained after fighting the Gyarados named "Kaido" on the Orange Islands.
The latter's Thunder Bagua is equivalent to all the power that Pikachu can exert, and the Thunder Sixteen has reached an extreme state that Xiaozhi cannot reach now...
Having just learned secretly, the current Pikachu can barely reach the level of Thunder Four Trigrams.
Regardless of the fancy names of pirate moves, to put it bluntly, they are actually lightning whips. A full blow with an electric arc can even produce the intimidating illusion of a mace.
But if you simply say "wrap a hundred thousand volts around your tail and use tapping", this is actually illegal in combat. There is no reason to use two skills at the same time.
And in this world, there is no trick called "Lightning Tail".
"Keng!!"
Thunder Bagua collided with the grass slide, and there was a violent sound at the junction. As the energy dispersed, the two Pokémon took several steps backward at the same time.
Evenly matched.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi showed a rather excited look.
"It's not bad. At the four hexagram stage, you can open the grass slide 50-50... Probably the strength of the six hexagram is the strongest power that Pikachu's steel tail can exert..."
"If it comes to Bagua, it's probably the ultimate level that can be achieved by combining my bonding power buff and Pikachu's weird explosive power..."
Xiaozhi secretly weighed the power of this move.
The future is promising.
...
"Xiaozhi, are you trying to create a unique move...?"
"It's not easy."
Next to them, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia clinked their teacups, with a relaxed look on their faces, and pointed out the way to the country.
In the Kanto region, as the oldest region, the first fighting battles were actually the simplest fists and kicks, unpretentious.
Sonic punch, megaton punch, double kick, flying knee kick...
Until one day, people suddenly discovered that there was a Pokémon called Electabuzz that could attach lightning energy to its fists to send out "lightning punches."
The same phenomenon also appeared in Sister Mizui and the Duck-billed Fire Dragon.
Later, a martial arts master discovered that Pokémon like Kuai Fist Lang could even use Freeze Fist, Lightning Fist, and Fire Fist at the same time, and this set of farmer's three punches was completely developed.
Then some people are curious, is there Grass Leaf Fist?
Or maybe a freeze kick, a lightning kick, a fire kick?
You can think so, but it is actually extremely difficult to create a unique move like xx punch, xx legs, xx tail, xx teeth, etc.
Just like Fire Kick, this is a unique move that was only created in the Fangyuan area next door in the past twenty years, and it also requires the Pokémon to have extremely flexible jumping ability to achieve it.
The Grass Blade Fist and Grass Blade Kick are unique techniques that were only invented a few years ago, and the conditions for their use are extremely harsh.
The former requires a spike attack when punching, which limits the possibility of success to Pokémon with cactus organs, and the trick has been changed to "spiked arms".
The latter is a unique move that requires the help of Pokémon's understanding of the surrounding tropical jungle. It was renamed "Tropical Kick".
Special moves are not something that can be created for granted. If Ash hadn't actually seen a Gyarados perform the Lightning Whip, he wouldn't have rashly tried to let Pikachu learn this move.
Forefathers planted trees, and later generations could block roads and rob under the trees. This is nothing more than this principle.
As for why it's not called Lightning Tail...
I can only say that the Four Thunder Trigrams are indeed more domineering, and Xiaozhi prefers domineering names.
...
"Pikachu, do it again, use the Thunder Four Trigrams on that oak tree!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu once again made a mid-air spin, and the proficiency of Lightning Tail's moves was also constantly improving. With the sizzling sound of electricity, it swept across the towering oak tree in the middle.
"rumble..."
The force was so powerful that the trunk of the tree was hit with a crack on the spot, and the entire oak tree trembled violently.
It's just that the movement didn't end quickly, but intensified.
"Xixixixixi..."
At this time, the green leaves on the top branches of the oak tree began to tremble inexplicably. The leaves rubbed together, making a permeating sound, as if something was about to fall...
"Xiao Zhi, didn't the illustrated book say, don't hit the trees casually, strange things may fall."
Xiaogang and Xiaoxia immediately stayed away from the latter and reminded him from a distance.
...
